April 10, 2023 – Bel Air, MD – Har-co Credit Union just completed its own March bracket tournament in Harford County with ‘Har-co Helping Har.Co.’! Har-co Credit Union included 16 local non-profit organizations in a bracket style competition, as an effort to concurrently raise awareness for these organizations and to support their causes. After a close battle, residents of Harford County voted for The Arc Northern Chesapeake Region as their favorite non-profit organization!

Since 1953, The Arc NCR has empowered people with differing abilities over “the Arc of their lifetime” to live, work, and thrive in the community through a variety of services. After consistent promotion, The Arc Northern Chesapeake Region swept Har-co Credit Union’s bracket tournament and will be receiving a winning donation of $2,000 that can be used for family support services, employment services, personal support, and more! And what better time for Har-co Credit Union to partner with such an impactful organization than during The Arc’s 70th year anniversary!

This bracket challenge helped to bring awareness to 16 organizations across the county, some of which are lesser known,” stated Alex Coulson, Chief Marketing Officer of Har-co Credit Union. “One of our core principles as a staple of Harford County is giving back to the community. This was a perfect way to do just that in a large format while involving our members and local residents.”

Har-co is excited to build a relationship with The Arc NCR this year through this partnership. Click here if you would like to donate to The Arc NCR or want to learn more about their organization.
